Naples, FloridaGuide was updated:
With beautiful white sand beaches, excellent dining, and a plethora of outdoor pursuits, Floridian Naples truly has it all, and more awaits outside the city limits at the Everglades National Park downstate or – closer yet – the Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge. Naples is also known for its first-rate golf courses and deluxe boutiques, both of which give the city a well-off, prosperous air.

Do & See

Beyond the beaches, there is much more to enjoy in Naples. The Golisano Children's Museum of Naples is a must-see, as is the Naples Zoo at Caribbean Gardens with its popular giraffes, and black bears, and boat rides to view primates living cage-free on islands in the zoo's Lake Victoria. Cool off at Sun-n-Fun Lagoon water park with five water slides, water fountains, and a lazy river. For pursuits in nature, take one of the guided tours through the Everglades National Park and/or Big Cypress National Preserve - all within a short drive from town.
